These scammers using Mr Beasts popularity, generosity, and (mostly) deep fake AI to scam people into downloading malware, somehow do not go against Instagrams community guidelines.

After trying to submit a request to review these denied claims, it appears I have been shadow banned in some way or another as only an error message pops up.

Instagram is allowing these to run on their platform. Intentional or not, this is ridiculous and Instagram should be held accountable for allowing malicious websites to advertise their scam on their platform.

For a platform of this scale, this is completely unacceptable. They are blatant and I have no idea how Instagrams report bots/staff are missing these.

    My mother will click on anything that pops up on a screen and then go “ooh why did that happen”. She also has about 9,000 tabs open at any one time 8,300 of which are the same website.

    Meanwhile on the other end of the scale my dad refuses to click anything so when he goes on a site on his phone, he will view the site to the tiny sliver that is visible under the cookie warning because he won’t click any button ever, he won’t even click reject he just refuses to press buttons.
